I wonder why a SpaceX Falcon-9 was singled out. Wouldn't any sufficiently large rocket have the same effect? And if so, wouldn't the Falcon heavy cause an even more dramatic effect?


Read the article before asking questions.

"This unique nearly vertical trajectory is different from the usual satellite launches that the rockets fly over horizontal trajectory "


To add to that, also from the article: "This is the largest rocket‐induced circular SAWs on record."


I would but the site's not responding for me.


A sufficiently large rocket with a similar payload being launched to reach a similar orbit. Apparently that combination is not very common.
